Problems for discussion
Monitoring. Observations of hazardous objects, present-day observational facilities, creation of the Russian system of Earth-based monitoring of hazardous objects, methods of hazardous object observations, instruments for observations etc.
Characteristics of hazardous objects. Determination of orbital rotation and chemical properties of hazardous objects, databases with information on minor bodies of the Solar System. Sources of refilling of the Near-Earth population. Astroblems. Search for oceanic astroblems for correction of impact frequency, building of the database of impact structures on the ground and on the sea bottom. Simulations of geological and mineralogical consequences of asteroid impacts.
Prevention. Measures to avoid collisions of potentially dangerous space bodies with the Earth. Working out of realistic typical methods of defense. Comparison of possibilities of different methods realization..
Space missions. Possibilities and preliminary engineering works on space probes for remote, contact and sample returned investigations of potentially hazardous space objects. Targets for space missions - asteroids, comets and physical experiments of the missions.
Apophys. Asteroids 99942 Apophys (2004 MN4) and 144898 (2004 VD17). Computer simulations of the asteroid orbits. Development of methods of accuracy predictions of their movements. Determination of physical, chemical and structural characteristics.
Meteoroids, meteors and meteor showers. Genetic connection between interplanetary meteoroid streams and meteor showers observable from the Earth.
Astroclimate.
Ecology of the atmosphere and near-Earth space.
The round-table and discussion on the problem "Human-Environment-Space" will be held during the conference.
